the buffer is overwritten.

49605 | 47 * Make the Lucid menu widget display multilingual text. [This |
48 probably needs to be done from actual Emacs buffers, either directly | |
49 in the menu or by rendering in an unmapped window and copying the | |
50 pixels. Note that the relevant Xlib functions assume a specific | |
51 locale; that isn't good enough even if X can render the arbitrary | |
51647 | 52 text, which it often can't as far as I can tell. -- fx] [The gtk |
53 port now displays multilingual text in menus, but only insofar as | |
54 Emacs can encode it as utf-8 and gtk can display the result.] | |

136 not now feasible, given Gnus maintenance decisions. fx looked at | |
137 this and can say where some of the problems are.] | |
32947 | 138 |
139 * Eliminate the storm of warnings concerning char/unsigned char | |
140 mismatches that we get with proprietary compilers on various systems. | |
141 They make it difficult to spot the important warnings. | |
142 | |
143 * Fix anything necessary to use `long long' EMACS_INTs with GCC. | |
33076 | 144 |
145 * Split out parts of lisp.h and generate Makefile dependencies | |
146 automatically. | |

154 ignoring X resources (Doze equivalents?) and most of the | |
155 environment. What should not be ignored needs consideration. | |
